Dallas vs Seattle Stats

Dallas Stars

The Dallas Stars have achieved a five-game winning streak, with a strong offensive performance leading to a total of 20 goals scored while allowing only eight goals against. Jake Oettinger's exceptional goaltending has contributed to this success, with 35 saves in the recent victory over the Kraken. The team's power play has also been effective, going 2-for-5 in the last game. Oettinger is set to start in the next game, holding a solid 2.47 GAA and a .911 save percentage for the season. Currently second in the Central Division, the Stars are in a strong position with a 48-21-4 record and solid power rankings, showing strength both offensively and defensively.

Seattle Kraken Analysis

The Seattle Kraken have struggled recently, dropping four of their last five games. Despite a 6-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers, they were trounced by the Stars, with a 14-19 goal differential in their last five games. Although they outshot the Stars, they fell short with a 36-21 advantage. Eeli Tolvanen scored early in the first period, but the Kraken failed to capitalize on power plays and Joey Daccord allowed four goals. Daccord's stats for the season are 24-20-5 with a 2.72 GAA and .908 save percentage, while Philipp Grubauer is 7-16-1 with a 3.59 GAA and .873 save percentage. The Kraken, ranked 19th overall, sit in the seventh spot in the Pacific Division and have been eliminated from playoff contention. In head-to-head matchups, Seattle has had success against Dallas, winning all three recent games.

Stars Shine Bright Even Without Seguin: Kraken Prepared for Tough Matchup

The Stars' offensive performance remains strong despite the absence of Tyler Seguin, who is sidelined with a hip injury. Seguin has recorded nine goals and 11 assists in 19 games this season, with expectations for his return in time for the playoffs. Conversely, Chandler Stephenson (11 goals, 37 assists) made a comeback for the Kraken last Saturday, ensuring a full roster for their upcoming match against the Stars on Monday. Seattle faces a tough challenge against Dallas, which has shown excellent efficiency recently. Their formidable offense contrasts with the Kraken's struggling defense, exemplified by goalie Joey Daccord allowing four goals in three of his last four starts. I successfully placed a bet on the Stars at the puckline at +136 in their previous game and will repeat this strategy for the upcoming match.
